COLLEGE REACHES CAMPAIGN MILESTONE
Message from the Campaign Chairman
July 1 was an exciting day for Babson as gifts from more than 13,000 donors
to Babson Rising, the largest campaign in the College's history,
vaulted past $100 million, the halfway mark of our goal. Thank you to
everyone who has supported this incredible effort through your generous
commitment of time and financial resources. Our success truly would not
be possible without you!
The halfway mark of any journey is a
great time to pause and reflect on the road traveled and the road that
lies ahead. The time line below outlines some of the campaign
milestones that have transformed the College. An expanded time line
will appear in the fall issue of Babson Magazine.
The
second phase of the campaign will feature an especially strong focus by
Babson on increased support for scholarships. In 2009, the College
embraced a sweeping new charge: To educate a generation of leaders who can create economic and social value...everywhere. Scholarship
gifts are central to this goal, enabling talented students to attend
Babson, enrich learning and life on campus, and use their Babson
education to transform enterprises and communities around the globe.
I
encourage you to take pride in this exciting moment for the College and
continue to engage with us as we work to enhance the future of this
great institution.
